European wars have recently bssn short,
sharp and decisive, but it II out OF the
question that such Titanic forces a. now
seem prsparsd to engage in conflict col
come into action and reach . conclusion IN
q few months, or even . year. All the Eu-
ropean armaments are in . greater statsoi
readiness for action than at any previous
era in the history Of those nations. They
have all been strengthening their armies to
the highest possible pitch Of s5eetivsnsss'
and whom they take the field it will b ON Q
more gigantic scale than ever before. MIL
ions Of men will engage in q struggle thai
can only be disastrous to all in the end, Tor
the. amount Of treasure that will be poured
out like water will be incaleulabls.
The United States will bs one nation that
will reap q large profit by this war, and the
copper industry OF Butte will be specially
benefited. There can be scarcely any doubt
now that the eagerness with which the
stocks Of copper have been invested in by
speculators was and 10 due to the immi-
nenes OF this prospective European conflict
Copper enters largely into the manufacture
Of war material, and, il the threatened wal
breaks the peace OF Europe, the present
high prices will seem small in comparison
with those to which, in that event, it will
rise. The United States will have An I'M
limited demand for all her breadstuns and
provisions, and, although such . wal %
threatens will paralyss trade in Europe
while it lasts, it will make flush times and
high prices in this country.

The allusion to copper from an extract
in a village paper in the Inter Mountain
yesterday is unhappy. With the tarin,
Calumet and Heela lately forced prices
down to q point where tho Butte mines had
hard work to exist. In spite OF these o.
forts copper began to rise in price.
The English market raised the price to the
present figures because the demand was
Unsuitable. The price here is regulated BY
the market abroad just AZ wheat is raised
or depressed by foreign quotations, and il
the price Of Chill bars in London advances
further, the price Of American copper will
follow suit and vice versa. The Inter
Mountain ought to be better acquainted
with the market that governs copper, seeing
it republishes tho quotations every after.

A BASE OF SUPPLY.

An excellent idea of the railroad center
which Butte is destined to become was
given in the local columns Of The MINER
yesterday which demonstrated, among
other things, that the only practicable
western route for the Manitoba road is a
continuation OF the Montana Central west
from Butte. The Chicago 4 Northwestern
is feeling round for IN entrance to Mon
tana, and in the direction they must take
they are bound to max" lutte an objective
point. The Union Tactic is figuring on
completed, will be feeders OF Butte. The
Northern Paci6c's Gallatin branch and
others in Eastern Montana have long been
surveyed and their construction cannot
much longer be delayed. All these new pro-
jects as they materialize will draw the
trade OF an immense section to Butte,
whose merchants will soon see opening up
before them avenues OF trade which now
they can scarcely realize. OF special
Importance to Butte will be the
completion of the link between here and
Gallatin. 1t will not be many months
ere the richest coal beds in Montana, the
Rocky Fork, will be connected by rail with
the Northern Pacific. The haulfrom there
to Butte will be about ESQ miles, which,
being less than half the distance of the
Rock Springs article, should mako it's cost
at least o third less. Efforts are to be
made to open the reservations this session,
and it would be ridiculous to talk Of open
ing any md omit to include the Grow Reser-
walton where the Indians are in a greater
condition of fitness to take advantage OF
the allotment plan than on any other.
The opening of the Grow Reservation means
the putting on the market of what will
ultimately prove one of the richest aeri-
cultural sections OF Montana, not even ex-
Guiding the Bitter Root. There are besides
the richest beds Of all kinds of mineral
wealth on this reservation that the mind
cal imagine. Alarge population is bound
to fow there speedily. The link to Gala
tin on the Northern Pacific places
all this section within easy reach
OF Butte's mercantile community. The
towns already existent on the North
ern Pacific would rather trade anywhere
than with Helena which has pursued a pol.
icy inimical to the welfare of that part of
Eastern Montana. Where else then can
they expect to fnd a supply depot In Mon

Among the passengers coming up from

but at the request of Conductor West, went
in and sat down. Afterwards he vent out
again, and when the train was leaving the
rock cut in the canyon, this side OF Placer,
one of the train hands informed Mr.. West
that Mr.. Emerson had fallen off the train.
The train was Immediately stopped and
backed down to the cut where Mr.. Emerson
vas found standing by the track. He
greeted the conductor with: swell Wes4

and except for a small cut on his head, no
damage was noted. Upon arriving at Butte
he performed his additions and set out to
see his friends. Conductor West says the

that they were going to find q dead man

Inter Mountain asserts that this paper has
been twice convicted OF libel in the courts
OF this county-once in q eriminalan n once

which it has reference is probably the n
brought by q member Of it's staff against q

ing, showed the white feather and had to
ask the Intervention ola Grand Jury to

THE ADVERTISING MEDIUM.

This journal returns thanks to it's adver-
tising patrons for their generous and live
contributions to it's Sunday edition. Its
force of compositors was taxed to it's ut
most exertiors until nearly 5 o'clock on
Sunday morning and even then two adver.
Users were unavoidably disappointed. It
is gratifying to The MINER to find that it's
efforts to furnish it's readers with the best
medium in the Territory in which to ad-
vertise "a newspaper devoted to the welfare
and building up of the city in which it is
published. emitting no opportunity to
herald abroad the great it is
possessed of and it's business enterprises
are meeting with such substantial recogni-
ton as this advertising patronage implies.
The novelty and variety of matter dis
played by advertisers is the best evidence
of the progressive spirit with which they
conduct their business, and the live, eper-
getic tone in which Butte merchants adver-
tise their wares is unimpeachable testimony
of their success. The man who is
content to wait in his store for
customers to come to him will
get left here in Butte just az his counter
part has everywhere else. The man who
adopts modern business methods, who ad-
v~ertises freely and with originality, is going
to capture the trade, or at least his full
share of it. The day has gone by when a
merchant can afford to wait for custom to
come to him. There are too many people
were accustomed to the constant struggle
t patronage of older communities to be
lieve that a merchant who doesn't adver-
tise has much in his store worth inspection
outside of staple goods. Another thing
that should be considered in this n
ton is the good impression created abroad
Of the spirit and enterprise animating a
mercantile community when it is exhibited
by we'll displayed advertisement of the
goods on sale at the business places. All
successful business men everywhere &C.
knowledge the share in their success they
owe to the liberal discriminating use OF
printers ink, and there is no medium that
a merchant should p~atronize more liber-
ally than the papers published in his own
town. That's where his patrons live
mostly, and it is those he wants to reach.

ScoOped ct Lynchburg.

NEws.HEsALD Special.
LYNcHBURa, June 8, 1887.
A magnificent game of ball was played
here Friday between the Hillsboro and
Lynchburg clubs. The home team out
played the visitors in all points. They
batted Merkle very hard, while the Wis
itors were unable to secure but few
scattering hits off of Murphy's delivery.
Thompson's I'd base work was the fea-
ture of the game, while R. Murphy's
LIST base playing, D. Murphy's pitching
and Days catching was excellent. Day,
the promising young catcher of the
Lynchburg nine, bids fair to rival "Doc"
Bushong or Jimmy keenan, as champion
catchers. Minsler, on third, did well.
Foraker and Schermer did the best work
for the visitors. Merkle was knocked
out of the box in the fifth inning, and
Mullenix took his place in the sixth, but
was no better, and Merkle was reinstated
in the 9Th. Quite q number of people
witnessed the game.
